Sympathy to your family. I knew Joe through Acorn. He was a great asset to the community with his service to Acorn.

In 2012, when I first became a parishioner at St. Anthony Cathedral, Mr. Joe was one of the first to introduce himself and welcome me. He was one of the most generous, kindest, and sincerely genuine people that i have ever met. He became "Mr Joe" to me, and I was Ms. "Deann" to him. I can't express how much I am going to miss that genuine smile that I received every time I met him. My deepest condolences to all of you. I want to assure you that he made a difference in the lives of the people he encountered.
